Ughhh sorry you are gong through this. And so close to state meet. My initial thoughts would be to stay at the current gym. You picked it for a reason and presumably that reason has not changed. However, with your additional information, I am more torn. I am confused as to why you switched in the first place. Usually a scheduling issue is not grounds for switching gyms for a L7 gymnast, especially if the gymnast is well established in that gym. So I would think that the other reasons held more power in the decision. You may have made the decision on those terms but the old coach would have seen it completely differently. Second, if there are no true plans at your current gym to hire a new coach and build their optional program I don't see this as a viable option for your dd long term. I hate the thought of uprooting her just before states but to be honest, she would have less upheaval switching her to the old gym with the coach she is now used to than staying with the HC whom she barely works with... Tough decision to be sure. I would make it a point to get up with the HC and see what his plans are for the current gym. If they don't match yours, pull her now.
